Chalk up a point for FreeBSD

rip — Mon, 16 May 2005 21:05:03 +0000

If you guys read /. which I know we all do, you may have seen the post titled “Microsoft to buy Red Hat?”
Here is the link to the full article.

Anyways, regardless of the outcome this is another notch in my belt for my determination to use FreeBSD since they are not going to sell out to Billy. Granted I see both reasons for this but in my opinion, anything touched by MS falls to the wayside, kinda like MM buying out Homesite… they make it sound really good, then boom… lets deprecate that product since we took all the good stuff we needed. So if this happens, I will remove Fedora from my work machine and install “The Devil”.

Hope I got this one right…

Gentoo’s fer Ricers

Paul — Sat, 19 Mar 2005 04:52:42 +0000

Every once in a while it’s good to step outside your personal technological maelstrom and really take a look at yourself. I find this especially useful when I’ve discovered that for the past two weeks I’ve probably spent 100 hours building and destroying linux systems at will. Ok, ok I’ll be specific… GENTOO linux systems. (I don’t know what it is. I guess I’m a “ricer” and a closet-case masochist.) Anyway, after browsing around in search for God’s Gentoo install (he’s probably got it tweaked to perfection), I came across this site.

I guess it’s always good to laugh at yourself and the community of freaks you adore (as ignorant as they are). It stings a lil’ bit. But so does life.

Keep dreamin’.

Philinux Journal Entry 20050219a : The End of the Beginning

Paul — Sat, 19 Feb 2005 17:51:03 +0000

The latest Paulinux journal entry is now available on the project site.

This entry covers the installation of the following packages:

Gawk, Coreutils, Bzip2, Gzip, Diffutils, Make, Grep, Sed, Gettext, Ncurses, Patch, Tar, Texinfo, Bash, M4, Bison, Flex, Util-linux, Perl and finally, Udev.

It will also wrap up the temporary system. This allows me to immediately begin the final Paulinux system build.

Philinux Journal Entry 20050215a – Building Binutils (Pass 2)

Yes folks, another journal entry is available.

This one covers some new information regarding 64-bit builds as well as the description the second pass of binutils.

Off Topic Note:
It get’s a little weird when I start seeing results on Google. I did so to see how many snowbrain pages it would track and needless to say, some of the results are surprising.
